Arthritis can really cripple you. It is a disease generally associated with aging, which results in breakage or death of cartilages of joints. Once the cartilages are destroyed, the joints do not remain dynamic any more. The effective rolling of bone over the joints is minimized and brittleness sets in. This can cause great agony.
Chief reasons behind Arthritis
Chief reason for your cartilage breakage is drying of Synovial fluid. It is a fluid found in the joint area, which lubricates the joint surface and assists in clinical motion of joints. Once this dries, cartilage turns brittle. New bones and spurs develop in the place and create tracts of unbearable pain. You become more vulnerable to it, as you keep climbing the age ladder.
